damn, i just watched the first (identity) as was suprised that i hadnt watched such a well regarded trilogy by now, first time i saw this was tonight, i wasnt overly enamoured with it, maybe partly due to the seemingly glowing reviews, it was not bad but just a bit underwhelming
and was assuming that 2 and 3 somehow built on this and improved and expanded the story, making, as an overview, the trilogy something more grandeur, but reading this i am seeing people saying identity is the best, doh!
oh well, will definitely watch the others, maybe its a marmite trilogy, who knows

I like the first one the most but I'm glad they didn't stop after that. Maybe if the director hadn't changed they would be better though.
I don't like that shaky camera work or whatever you want to call it. One post says agitated I believe.
I rather see the guys act than the camera. That may seem boring but I like to watch the people, stunts, fights, etc. not some split-seconds of it. I'm getting seasick watching this.
The trilogy is good, I stayed with it because I was interested in the character of course. Spoiler question:
Is Marie getting killed that soon in part two in the book as well? I am aware that the character was quite different.

Agreed. This film is outstanding and it's in my top 10 movies of the decade. The 2nd movie had a dull plot and all that shaky cam motion. The 3rd was good, but was all about action and little about character.
